My Donovan family immigrated to Lowell, MA in the early 1850's. I travel to Lowell to do my research. Please e-mail me at Beau-Chardy@excite.com if I can be of any help to you.

I, too, am researching my Donovan family who emigrated from Ireland to the United States via New Brunswick, CAN. I also have Driscoll's--my great ancestor Denis Donovan m. Ann Driscoll (still trying to locate info to confirm this). Please e-mail me at Beau-Chardy@excite.com if you wish to exchange info.

I am really interested in these postings. My Dad was William (1923-1987), His dad was William (From Somerville, NJ) His dad was (Timothy ?) from Cork. I know they lived in New Jersey from the time dad was a boy, but I think his father and/or grandfather came over direct from Cork. Anyone with info, please reply. Thanks, Debbi Donovan-Bryant

HI Laura, I will not be home for another few weeks, but will have my husband try to send you the Donovan photo of the Donovan sisters that I have and some of their dates..Mary as I told you never married, and she was a bit homely looking, the other sisters were really very pretty. I will send you the info next week when he returns, as he has my family tree on that computer Happy 4th Warmest Regards Joy

Hi Joy, My Grandmother Catherine Donovan Linden lived in the Batavia and Aurora, Illinois from at least 1900 to 1940. My grandmother's mother was Julia and her father was Jerry Donovan. They came from County Cork in about 1881 or 1882 according to Catherine's obituary. I believe that Julia listed in the 1900 census as having 4 children and in the 1910 census it say 4 and 3 living. I also know that there was a brother of Julia's who lived in the same area and according to some papers I have their father was Michael Nagle but have no knowledge of Jerry or Jeremiah Donovan and who his family is and have just recieced word from the circuit court today that they cannot be found in the records for Naturaliztion so maybe Jerry was one of the brothers which you seek. This may or may not be helpful. My Mother told my sister that she looked like my fathers cousin in Wisconsin so who knows. I believe that Catherine had a sister Mary and one named Anna and the other I haven't identifyied and also a brother David. Let me know if I can help or you have information that may of interest to me as I am at a block on locating the Donovan side of this family.

Hi, I also have Donovan's from Illinois. But I know very little about this family. There were 5 girls and 5 boys (and I do have a photo of the five sisters). I don't have my family tree info available at this time, but would be interesting in finding out about any possible Donovan's from the Illinois/Wisconsin area. I know that Mary Donovan (unmarried Aunt to my family) was buried in Wisconsin. Catherine Donovan her sister resided in Illinois. Still searching. Joy Dugan LaCombe

Dianne, I have not found out anything new. Denis came over about 1830 to 1840. In 1840 he was in St Louis. His age at this time was either 25 or 35. You know how the Irish lie. He married a girl from County Cork, Ellen Milner. She was Plantation Irish. Her father was English, mother Irish. I do not have her parent's names. I am at this time I trying locate a possible connection in Illinois. Possibly Springfield. What do you know about Patrick? I do have some info about Irish immigrating into Newfoundland.

I am looking for a Bernard DONOVAN who emigrated to the US circa 1845 with a brother, Thomas(?). I am told that he and his brother split-up in NY and never saw each other again. Bernard worked for the railroad and died in 1898 Creston, Union Co, IA. Bernard married a Mary Ann MACKIN, possibly in NY state. Bernard and Mary Ann had about 10 children that all lived in and around the Union Co, IA area. I have no other info on Bernard. Any help appreciated.
